Why is that? Why are all the new lever evolution bullets .429 and .430 then? I thought they're made for lever guns? Odd.

Good question. I don't have an answer. Perhaps not all .44 rifles are a .431 bore. If they were the same as a pistol bore, it would sure solve some problems.
Like I said before, my rifle will shoot a .430 XTP fairly well, even though it is .0015 smaller than my bore. Maybe there is that much difference in how a jacketed bullet obturates compared to a cast. I shoot very few jacketed loads since I found a cast bullet my rifle likes. Casting my own makes it a super cheap rifle to shoot and I rarely have a bullet shortage.
